[PATCH] xpad.c: Send necessary control transfer to certain Xbox controllers

[Mike Salvatore]

Hi,

I recently purchased an Xbox controller with USB ID 045e:028e. When I plugged
the device in, it was recognized as a joystick but button presses were not
recognized. Using evtest, I confirmed that the device was not sending any
information to the host when I pressed its buttons.

After doing some research, I found that this particular device requires that the
host send a control transfer before the device will begin sending any data to
the host. Below is a patch that introduces a mechanism into xpad.c for sending
control transfers to specific Xbox controllers at initialization.

After applying this patch to the xpad module, the Xbox controller is properly
initialized when plugged in and functions as expected. Other Xbox controllers
may also require control transfers at initialization, but I don't know which (if
any).

Regards,
Mike Salvatore

Subject: [PATCH] Input: xpad - send control init message to certain Xbox
 controllers

The Xbox controller with idVendor == 0x045e and idProduct == 0x028e
requires that a specific control transfer be sent from the host to the
device before the device will send data to the host.

This patch introduces an xboxone_control_packet struct and a mechanism
for sending control packets to devices that require them at
initialization.
